In chapter 15, Ona is raped by her boss Connor. When this happens, she is afraid to tell Jurgis because she knows he would kill Connor for doing this leaving them with no money. However, Jurgis threatens Ona and still she is afraid to tell him what happened, but eventually Ona did tell Jurgis whar happened to her. As expected, Jurgis went out to find Connor and seriously injured him, causing Jurgis to be arrested.
This shows that immigrants were being abused by others for beneficial reasons that left them in horrible states
